Foam brush chemical problems

I called my chemical guy to order blue foam brush chemical today.  I was using blue triple foam which did not foam.  I should have noticed but the chemical is blue and has a blue top.  But that does not make it “Bubbles Foam Brush Shampoo”.  Stupid mistake and I do not have triple foam.  I should blame it all on the chemical guy.

Talking message center like device

I have loop detectors in my bays for mega time which resets after the car leaves.  But I also want to promote the fact I have mega time.  (The fact I have a big ugly sign in each bay above where you put the money in, does not seem to help.)  When a customer drives in the bay after an allotted period of time a message could play.

My idea is that I hook up a dvd player to my loop detector and then play the audio in the bay.  Like the GinSan GS-52 talking message center.  I think the GinSan cost $523.21.  But I could purchase 4 x $36 Wal-Mart dvd players (I already have one dvd player), 5 relays and 5 speakers for less then the price of one of the GinSan.

It sounds great in theory but I have not tried it yet.

Roof-Mounted attic fan

Well, I purchased my attic fan today.  I went with the smallest fan it states it is for 1600 sq ft attics.  I am not sure why they do not go by cubic feet.  My equipment room is about 220 sq ft.  It was $54.95 and if it does not cool well I could add another I guess.

I need to get a larger ladder because I am a wimp and am afraid I will not be able to get back off the roof.

Also, it was hot today.

Cut the post cover

I marked the post by flipping the post over and comparing to the others.

Then cut with my table saw.  I was to lazy to mount the post.  Maybe tomorrow.  I am replacing the post that got stolen.
